Writing at the rich juncture of cultural, feminist, and psychoanalytic theories, Paula M. Salvio draws on visual and textual representations including shrines to those murdered by the mafia, photographs, and literary and cinematic narratives, to explore how trauma and mourning inspire solidarity and a quest for justice among educators, activists, artists, and journalists living and working in Italy. Salvio reveals how the anti-mafia movement is being brought out from behind the curtains, with educators leading the charge. She critically analyses six cases of communal acts of anti-mafia solidarity and argues that transitional justice requires radical approaches to pedagogy that are best informed by journalists, educators, and activists working to remember, not only victims of trauma, but those who resist trauma and violence."-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Mafia -- Italy -- Sicily -- Case studies Organized crime -- Social aspects -- Italy -- Sicily -- Case studies Social movements -- Italy -- Sicily -- Case studies Nonviolence -- Italy -- Sicily -- Case studies SOCIAL SCIENCE -- Criminology.
